Docking Presses For Change In Refuge Land Action
Gov. George Docking criticized the forestry, fish and game commission for its change in stance on the Marais des Cygnes refuge case. At Manhattan on Saturday the panel upheld a 4-2 vote to drop a land condemnation suit against the Boi court and Ottawa hunting associations, who own about 200 acres adjacent to the refuge in Linn County. Docking vowed not to let the matter drop and said he would consider actions, while three Democratic and two Republican members stood by the decision. He also urged a field review by the U S Fish and Wildlife Service due to altered project plans and sought a feasibility report from State Game Director Leahy.
